In a technological development that would briefly have
addled Thomas Dordrecht—just briefly, he being temperamentally eager to keep up
with the future—writers with electronic books for sale are experimenting with
“electronic autographs.” Modern marketing: another field that would intrigue
our hero!

Your present author has made a stab at this marvel and
come up with what you can see below. Not entirely satisfying, perhaps, because
it can’t be embedded directly into the electronic manuscript. The result is a
small .JPG file that could be e-mailed and placed by the recipient into a
computer’s subdirectory, perhaps with other electronic-literary productions.

For what it’s worth to any of my readers, you have but
to ask, and I’ll be happy to oblige!
